As another winnable game slipped out of his hands, Aaron Rodgers sat pensively on the New York Jets' bench Monday night looking like he was contemplating life.
It didn’t appear he liked what he saw.
His Jets were about to be losers again — 23-20 to Buffalo — and thus fall to 2-4 on the season. They had already fired the coach, Robert Saleh. They had already changed play-callers. They had already talked about renewed effort and focus.
And yet, little had changed.
The lights were bright inside MetLife Stadium, but this felt like one of Rodgers' famed darkness retreats; his face conveying more regret than resolve.
